Britney Spears Loses Visitation Rights
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, News,
As a follow to emergency court proceedings held earlier today - prompted by Britney Spears’ strange behavior last night - a commissioner has just given full physical and legal custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James to their father, Kevin Federline.
The current order is only in effect until January 14th, but at least it’s a step in the right direction. Another hearing will be held later to determine how things will proceed from there.

More Details on Britney Spears’ Meltdown
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, News, Rumors,
It all begins now. The never-ending details surrounding Britney Spears’ hospitalization last night.
First off, it turns out K-Fed’s bodyguards weren’t the ones responsible for reporting Spears to the authorities. It was Brit’s own court-appointed child monitor. Preston was being prepped to return to dad’s house when his mother decided to lock herself up in the bedroom with Jayden. Fearing the young child would be forced to choose between mom’s only two pairs of boots, the monitor called the cops for help. (Of course, I kid. Well, maybe.)
While Sean and Jayden are now seeking normalcy in their father’s home, Spears is in the middle of a mandatory 72-hour mental evaluation at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, attorneys for both Britney and Kevin Federline have been meeting at the courthouse to discuss the recent events. (The matter really shouldn’t get any more attention than Brit gave to her deposition yesterday. Why should it take more than 15 minutes to take the kids away from her?)
As sad as yesterday’s events were, this incident, ironically, may be the best thing to happen to the troubled pop star. (I’m assuming this is rock bottom, right?) We can only hope that she is finally getting the rest - and help - she needs.

Britney Visits Her Babies
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Gossip,
Monday saw the return of Britney’s babies to their mother…for a visit. Spears got to see her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, for the first time since custody was awarded to ex Kevin Federline. Per court order, a nanny stayed with Spears during the visit. Britney is allowed to have monitored visits with her children every other day, so long as she complies with court orders (such as biweekly drug testing). The week also marked Britney’s first visit with her own mom since June. If Spears continues to follow all court directives, the monitored visitation schedule may be relaxed.

Is Britney Spears in Danger?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Talent, Gossip, Rumors,
Dr. Drew Pinsky of Loveline fame expressed concern for Britney Spears. No big surprise – a lot of people seem concerned about Spears (and whether she’ll force us to sit through another live performance). But in Dr. Drew’s case, his worry is genuine and heartfelt. Picture a woman who suffers a terrible divorce, highly stressful career, possible postpartum depression, and tons of flak from the media. You’re looking at Britney Spears. Now, Brit’s babies (Sean Preston and Jayden James) have been taken away from her in a court custody ruling which Kevin Federline won. Dr. Drew believes Brit could become suicidal as a result of the ruling, which comes on top of her other troubles, a thought that doesn’t seem so far-fetched in the wake of Brit’s recent behavior.

Britney’s Former Bodyguard Witness to Nudity, Drugs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Rumors,
The ongoing custody drama between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline just got slightly more interesting. A former bodyguard of Spears, Tony Barretto, reported to court today. He was prepared to testify on the questionable things he saw behind closed doors.
Although he was never called to the stand, Baretto, 28, submitted his detailed accounts into evidence. The former employee—who could bear a grudge against Spears for being abruptly fired—claims he witnessed acts of ‘nudity, drug use and safety issues involving the children’. Unfortunately these accusations are extremely vague (and something we could have all guessed already). Let’s hope the juicy details are leaked soon!
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only bad news for Brit today. Her lawyer, Laura Wasser, has elected to drop her client and pass her over to a new set of hands. Apparently big bucks aren’t worth the headache.

Britney and K-Fed Meet To Discuss Divorce Details
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Talent, Gossip, Rumors,
Britney Spears at the VMAs has received a lot of media attention, but the former pop superstar has bigger fish to fry than poor media exposure. Wednesday, Spears sat down with Kevin Federline in the office of her attorney, Laura Wasser, to work out the details of their well-publicized custody battle. Each arrived to the meeting separately, which fell on the same day as their son Jayden’s first birthday. Since July, K-Fed has been trying to get primary legal custody of Jayden and Sean Preston, as well as more money per month from Spears. Federline’s attorney has already filed paperwork requesting $50,000 from Spears to cover his legal expenses, as well as an increase in monthly support payments of $20,000. If he’s spending more than twenty large on living every month, his rent is too *&%$ high. A lot of people live on $20,000 a year. A Friday hearing will determine whether or not certain documents relating to the divorce will be made public, something neither Brit nor K-Fed really wants.
